FOLIC ACID (FOLIC ACID): Folic acid is the man-made form of folate. Folate is a B-vitamin naturally found in some foods. It is needed to form healthy cells, especially red blood cells. Folic acid supplements may come in different forms (such as L-methylfolate, levomefolate, methyltetrahydrofolate). They are used to treat or prevent low folate levels. Low folate levels can lead to certain types of anemia. Conditions that can cause low folate levels include poor diet, pregnancy, alcoholism, liver disease, certain stomach/intestinal problems, kidney dialysis, among others. Women of childbearing age should receive adequate amounts of folic acid either through their diet or supplements to prevent infant spinal cord birth defects.

severe fatigue! nausea. weakness. chest pain.
If traditional SSRI's have not worked for you this medication could be helpful, but do understand that there are side effects with any drug. Go off of it slowly tapering your dose. Also, know that medication alone rarely helps depression long term. You also need life style changes and usually, talk therapy.
Extreme sleepiness. Within an hour of taking Clonidine I have to sleep, does help sleep at night. I notice a really bad headache (on left side of head) after taking this med. Light headed, dry mouth. Dry eyes, blurred vision.
My 16 daughter has been taking Flonase off and on for almost 6 years, she has seasonal allergies and fluid drains into her ears, she takes it to dry up the fluid in her ears. This past August/September she had a bad reaction to Flonase for about a month, I had no idea that the side effects she was having was connected to Flonase until I started to research on the internet. I have talked to few other people that take allergy medicine and had the same side effects. We took my daughter off the Flonase and all other allergy medicine and she is back to normal.
It is great I found these posts as I thought I was going to have a heart attack! I am dizzy, very weak, feel like I am out of it, my head feels like ants are crawling it, and I too am having vivid dreams (although weird - not scarry.) The scarriest is the feeling my heart is going explode. It beats very very fast at night and I can not get to sleep for HOURS.It feels like someone is sitting on my left arm- I thought it was the other drug I was taking (MUCINEX) -, so I quit - but still no change. This morning I woke up and felt better - actually had some energy - then I remembered to take the pill. Within 1/2 hour I felt like I got hit by a truck - and started digging on line. Here I am. I took this drug once before - did not have ANY of these problems except the taste. But I remember it was the ONLY drug that knocked out my sinus infection. After 5 days (1/2 way through) I am going to stick to it as it seems to be helping my sinus infection (worst ever), and that my reaction to
Went to docs he took me off Lovastatin but now after reading all this it could be Boniva that is the problem .I am waiting for my blodd test results.I started in Februdary but I am stopping this medication right now. Nope no more. It is not worth it. I don't know how long it is going to take for me to get back to normal but I just want to go hiking with my husband. I want to ride my bike more than 1 mile. I want to go swimming with out having to have to hold on to someone. This medicine stinks !!!
it's three months or so since I stopped the Lamisil after a course of six months and nine of my toenails are normal - one, the worst, is not bad. I CAN WEAR OPEN TOED SHOES IN PUBLIC FOR THE FIRST TIME IN TEN YEARS! My liver tests were normal at all times. I want to remind people, though, don't touch alcohol while on this drug - I drank a single half glass of wine while on the drug and it was entirely the wrong thing to do. Also, remember that caffeine reduces the effects. I took my Lamisil and a single cup of coffee a day - at opposite ends of the day.
I was no longer deeply, darkly depressed when taking Zoloft. I didn't feel any real joy either, but this didn't bother me too much. I was better than I was before Zoloft!
severe depression- My daughter took bactrim for MRSA. It worked, but she has been battling depression since. She has always been a very happy person and very outgoing, but she said she felt like she was in a hopeless box. I couldn't figure out why. The feelings started during the time she was on Bactrim and she is still fighting negative feelings a month later. I am so glad to be able to figure out why she is having so much difficulty. I don't think it is a coincidence that this overwhelming sadness and hopelessness hit her at the same time that she was taking Bactrim. I wonder how long this will last. Does anyone have any experience with this side effect?
I would prefer to not take this medication again. I have used Provera and it has worked just fine for me with minimal side effects.
